the strangest part is that if i go to open the file from its download location in windows explorer, it works fine. what could the problem be?

chrome tries to scan the file with your anti virus before it allows you to do anything with it.
it might get stuck there.

Found your problem right here.

what is the solution

Why? Why not furryfox? It's a trillion times better.
Even if you insist not to use a superior browser, why aren't you using chromium instead? There is no reason not to.
In fact, are you on windows? If yes, you really don't belong here.
Disable scan option

chrome sends your file to NSA and google's servers

firefox with old interface

Why not just use the classic theme restore addon?
>>54407440
because firefox may break it in future
and palemoon is also ideologically better (to /g/)

Don't bother, let them feel unique for using an undermaintained Firefox fork.

Yes, installing bloated shit of a browser that is so full of holes Pwn2Own competition doesn't even recognize it as a worthy platform to attack.
Even Microsoft is now a head of Mozzilla in the browser game since they bite the bullet and rewrote their Edge. Firefox and all forks need to be rewritten for modern age.

Does chromium scan your downloads?
